CSTV will broadcast three hours of action on Friday, June 9 (8:00-11:00 PM, ET), marking the first time that the third day of competition has been televised live. CSTV's broadcast will be highlighted by the Men's and Women's 4x100 Relay finals, the Men's 110 Hurdles final, the Women's 100 hurdles final and the Men's and Women's 5000 Meters finals.
